I love From games but their character creation is abysmal. This is Nioh 2. Dragon's Dogma is equally good. Does the From proprietary engine have some weird restriction that prevents them creating an attractive face? I simply don't believe the devs are inexplicably blind to this one element of art direction.

I also notice their default body proportion always makes the head freakishly small. A cheat engine 'head size' slider set to 1.5 brings it in proportion so there's absolutely no technical reason for it. And there's virtually nothing woke about From, particularly since this problem has existed since Dark Souls, so it's not a result of angry fat DEI consultants.

So what gives?

Shame about DD2 and Nioh 3 toning down the boobs sliders and revealing costumes to appease people like >>733763903

picrel, they removed the Ronin Wrap in Nioh 3 which was present in 2.

They should just come out of the closet and say they like boys and things censored.

Which subreddits do you moderate? r/TwoXChromosomes? From's player base would love this character. My question stands: why can't their engine do it? It doesn't make sense.

>>733763863
Irrc, fromsoft is still using facegen, which was from oblivion and dark souls 1.
They really are just Japanese Bethesda, a studio that has bad and old tools but a lot of experience with then and ending up making a huge game with them, limitations be damned.
Hell the only thing stopping elden ring from having a height slider was physics, which nightreign somehow solved.
And to my infinite rage nobody has figured out how to reverse engineer that yet.

If you're autistic, you can install a nude body replacer and add the jiggle bones to an eyepatch or facial hair. It makes them invisible so you'll get the jiggle with no visaul compromise.
The autism comes in from either having to deal with hundreds of armor mods or hundreds of smithbox reg edits to make the body not clip.
Faces are fucked though.

I find it fun. Thinking about the character, what they look this way, what life they would have lived. It adds a fun role-playing charm to games I feel.

Ok, that answer makes some sense. So the follow up is: in the past 15 years, why wouldn't they upgrade to a different face creation tool? I'm sure it's not a simple plug-and-play, but if you're going to nail one single thing in your mega-successful franchise's art design, it's the character face and, to a lesser extent, body. There's nothing even close in reward-to-work pay-off.

Only homosexuals pick default males and don't spend time on creating their waifu. As a straight man I spend probably hours deciding my characters eyeliner and lipstick color. The rouge that goes with her face is very important and also a good voice set that sounds feminine but not like you are trying to hard to be feminine.

As a man of culture I demand the statistics of armor with the aesthetics of waifu.

I understand why From couldn't officially provide an "invisible armor" option (though Nioh 2, like many games, does provide the invisible helmet option). But they could boost sales even further by developing the mod and releasing it "anonymously" on Nexus on game day release knowing cultured men would do the rest it making it go viral on launch day.
>>
>>733769521
They hand model the faces that matter, like Melina or bosses, but if I had to guess it's a combination of 'why fix what isn't broken' and 'americans like ugly characters'.
Facegen allows horrid monsters for characters, which americans seem to love for some reason. Not like they haven't made improvements to the base meshes they use, but I just doubt they think people care.
All speculation.

Baldur’s Gate 3 did this and I thought it added a certain level of immersion to the game outside of it just being goon bait, but From definitely made the right decision keeping the models weird and ugly looking instead of using kpop final fantasy assets like most asian studios. Soul.

Haven't played 3, yeah 2 is better than 1. The consensus is Nioh's combat is quite a bit better than From's from a pure gameplay perspective and I tend to agree -- with the huge caveat there is a couple hours' learning learn where it feels a lot different. Also Nioh's combat doesn't open up until you start to unlock skills and combos.

The thing lots of people don't like about Nioh is loot slop and I completely agree. What changed it for me was seeing a YT describing how, for NG, you can completely ignore blacksmithing and crafting... all that shit doesn't make a difference until NG++. In NG just pick the weapon type you want, keep swapping out for anything that drops with higher damage, ignore the hundred 'special abilities' since they don't make a big difference in NG, sell all the slop. Basically loot management only comes in if you're playing past NG.

Even in single player games, joke characters are only a thing among streamers trying to be funny for their 11 year old audience. I highly doubt anyone is making a spongebob-looking character if they're not doing it for social media.
